al round.
The only clean knockout was
registered by Johnny Foley (167
—FA) who put Dick Kowalski
(169-FA) to sleep in 56 seconds
of the first round. Foley floored
his inexperienced foe during
their first exchange, and ended
the tiff with three lefts and a
straight, lethal right when Ko-
walski climbed back on his feet.
In the opener, Marvin Willis
(153-Inf) rapped out a popular
decision over J. D. Watson (156-
FA), and Carol Campbell (150-
Port) was no match for the sharp
punches of Jesus Corrall (150-
Port).
Juan Castillo (155-QM) rush-
ed from his corner at the bell,
caught Max Zlotkind (154-FA)
with a shower of rights and lefts
before the bewildered novice
could get his sights adjusted and
returned to his corner with a
TKO verdict in 25 seconds. Zlot-
kind wanted to continue, but his
legs were rubbery and another
punch might have caused serious
injury.
In an exhibition match, Lead-
ing Aircraftsman Robert Her-
schell, 165, of the RAF, battled
to a draw with Mike Cooper (160—
AAF). It was the first time a
British boxer had appeared in
the Andrews Memorial fieldhouse.
Notre Dame Places 2 On All-American,
But Writers Forget Gent Named Bertelli
Notre Dame, heralded by many
as the greatest of all the great
teams turned out at South Bend,
placed two me n—Halfback
Creighton Miller and Tackle Jim
White—on the 1943 All-America
football team named by the As-
sociated Press, and became the
second team to be thus honored
in the last three years. Minne-
sota was honored in 1941 when
Bruce Smith and Dick Wildung
made the team.
With the Irish also placing
two men, Quarterback Angelo
Bertelli and Guard Pat Filley, on
the second eleven, the midwest
was awarded 12 of the 33 places
on the All-American squad. The
east, where the United States
Military and Naval academies
ruled the roost, gained eight posi-
tions (three of them on the first
team); the south, six; the far
west, four; the southwest, two,
and the Rocky Mountain area,
one.
Rounding out the All-American
backfield with Miller are Otto
Graham, Northwestern’s greatest
back since the days of Pug Rent-
ner; Bob Odell, Penn’s defensive
and broken-field ace, and Bill
Daley, a transfer from Minnesota
who sparked once-beaten Michi-
gan through its first six games.
Named to the ends are Joe
Parker, six-foot, one-inch 200-
pounder from Texas, and Ralph
Heywood, Marine reserve from
Southern Cal, who tips the scales
at 195 and stands six feet, two
inches.
White’s running mate at tackle
is Pat Preston of Duke, who at
205 pounds weighs only three
less than the Notre Dame line-
man, and gives the All-American
plenty of heft and speed at the
two key spots. The guard posi-
tions are held down by George
Brown Jr., 193-pound stalwart of
the U.S. Naval Academy line, and
Gunder Haegg
Wins M3 Title
Gunder Iiaegg’s good-will tour
of the States, during which he
thoroughly trounced leading U.S.
trackmen, paid belated dividends
this week when the Swedish run-
ner was voted the Athlete of The
Year award. It was the first time
in 13 years that a foreigner was
chosen by the country’s sports
writers for the prize.
Angelo Bertelli, Notre Dame’s
forward passing wizard, and
Cornelius Warmerdam, world
pole vault champion, finished
close behind Haegg in the poll.
John Steber of Georgia Tech, a
200-pound transfer from Vander-
bilt.
The center is Casimir Myslin-
ski, selected by his coach, Lt. Col.
Earl Bliak, as the outstanding
man on a good Army eleven at
West Point.
Except for Miller, who receiv-
ed a medical discharge from the
Army, and Myslinski, a cadet at
the Military Academy, all of the
first eleven either are Navy or
Marine men. Daley, Parker, Hey-
wood and Preston played only
the first part of the season be-
fore being transferred for mili-
tary training, but they earned
their honors over other outstand-
ing players who were on hand
for the entire campaign.
Perhaps the biggest surprise
wat the fact that Notre Dame’s
Angelo Bertelli, brilliant quart-
erback, did not quite make the
grade. Of the eleven men on the
second All-American Bertelli,
especially, was given strong con-
sideration for the first team.
Before being transferred to the
Marine base at Parris Island, he
gave an outstanding performance
each week of running Notre Dam-
e’s “T” machine, and dead-eye
passing.
Redskins
Play Bears
For Title
Ever since that frigid, gloomy
afternoon a year ago when Sling-
in’ Sammy Baugh’s passing art-
istry set the Chicago Bears on
their heels, 14-6, in the National
Football League finals, the rugg-
ed Bruins have been sharpening
their claws for revenge. And
they’ll have their chance Sun-
day when the same elevens clash
in the “Cash Bowl” game at Chi-
cago.
The swashbucklin’ Bears
clinched the Western division
crown several weeks ago, but the
Redskins didn’t limp into the
Eastern berth until Sunday when
they victimized the New York
Giants, 28-0, in a playoff contest.
The extra game was necessary
to break a tie between the ’Skins
and Giants after the Gotham grid-
ders stopped Baugh & Co. on
successive Sundays, 14-10 and
31-7.
Washington looked like a new
club against the Giants Sunday,
throwing aside all resemblance
to the team which twice faltered
against the New Yorkers. The
Redskins completely dominated
the game, with Baugh and Farkas
providing the momentum.
Baugh passed for more com-
pletions and more yards than in
any other appearance against the
Giants. He rolled up 190 yards
on his passes and intercepted a
pass to set the stage for his team’s
third touchdown. Farkas spark-
led, too, with three touchdown
romps, two of them in the first
half to give the Redskins a 14-0
edge at the intermission.
The final touchdown was tal-
lied in the fourth period when
Baugh flipped a pass to Lapka
on the Giant five and the rangy
end crashed over the goal line.

success in four starts and raised
them into fourth place.
The Engineers, led by Dick
Hartmann, rugged forward, open-
ed fast against the Hawkeyes and
had little trouble notching their
third triumph in four appear-
ances. Ahead, 18-8, at half-time,
the Sappers improved their posi-
tion steadily to pull away with-
out trouble.
Hartmann tallied 15 points on
five baskets and five free throws,
while Mike Homa featured for
the Hawkeyes with 11 points.
